On awesomeness.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics

Over the past few years, there’s been an increasing trend in the comics fan community to praise comics for “awesomeness,” where the term is generally used to describe a willingness to cut-and-paste/mix-and-match various genre elements for additional thrill value. When people describe Jason Aaron’s run on Ghost Rider, for example, they’ll talk about how Ghost […]

While decorating my parents’ Christmas tree

LISA (my sister): So I have to say – living in Montreal, you really get an idea of how racist people are. ME: How so? LISA: Well, you watch the CBC in English, and it’s all “Members of the whatever community continued to express concern about whatever.” Then you switch to the French CBC, and […]

Right now Apache is being a bit of a little bitch and keeps hanging (or crashing, one of them). Rest assured Top Staff are working on the problem. In the meantime, here is Achievement Unlocked, which is joyfully meta.

My Commenters Got Comments, Radical Feminist Edition

Posted by MGK Published in Law, My Readers Got Comments

Regarding this post and comments made about Andrea Dworkin and Catherine MacKinnon: Oort sez: According to snopes and wikipedia, you’re wrong what she says about about the rape thing. Snopes and Wikipedia are frankly buying into Dworkin’s attempt to walk back statements she made which were fucking retarded. Yes, she never explicitly said “all sex […]

Thursday WHO’S WHO: Hawk (Son of Tomahawk)

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, Who's Who

We think that spinoff characters started in the 90s when they created Venom and then had Carnage and then Venom 2 and Carnage 3 and Venom: The Venoming and now there’s Anti-Venom. Also there was Vengeance, who was like Ghost Rider, but spikier and with a fiery horse skull (or something) rather than a fiery […]

FLAPJACKS: Whatcha reading? ME: An essay by Catherine MacKinnon. FLAPJACKS: Who’s she? ME: Radical feminist legal scholar. FLAPJACKS: How radical is “radical”? ME: She supported Andrea Dworkin’s assertion that all heterosexual sex can be defined as rape. FLAPJACKS: That is pretty radical. ME: Yeah. FLAPJACKS: Wait, was Andrea Dorkin – ME: Dworkin. FLAPJACKS: Oh. Was […]

THERE IS NO VICTORY BUT ZUUL

Posted by MGK Published in DRAMA MOTHERFUCKERS, The Site

So I have triumphed, as anybody looking to my sidebar can see, and become the Best Canadian Humour Blog for 2008, stomping my competition into the dust where they rightfully belong. However, in the midst of victory I am disquieted, for while I of course dominated the category, much like Hulk Hogan dominated his opponents […]

Bring him to me. I shall wear his head as a crown.

Posted by MGK Published in Comics, DRAMA MOTHERFUCKERS, The Internets

So somebody emailed me saying that Dan Slott popped up on some forum somewhere and when someone “confronted” him with stuff from this post, he totally called me out for being like a net-nerd or something like that. But they didn’t give me the link and they haven’t responded to my request for it. Now, […]
